Stone Blind: Medusa's Story

I really want the Waterstones Special Edition of this book. I'm not above buying books solely for the cover but liking the book is a bigger incentive. So I read the book.

This is the retelling of Medusa's origin story. There are multiple POVs. Perseus is dumb. The gods were and have always been messy and their way of getting back at one another is just sad. I'm sure they thought they were cool but they were S.A.D..

This was a fun read. I might actually re-read it again. The critiques are valid, though. Medusa's point of view is not really highlighted as much. It didn't feel like Medusa's story. It was everyone else's story and how Medusa's life was inconsequential and just a pawn that was used by absolutely everyone. Mind you, Medusa was beautiful and caring. She was just done completely wrong.

If you approach this read as a book on Greek gods or even a book of a series of unfortunate events then you might be less disappointed.
